MUSK WATCH (15-16 August 2023):

So the other night, I popped back to check in on my old Twitter account. Nothing new in my alerts. No Likes, RTs, etc. and the suggested tweets were none of my usual topics.

So for spits and giggles, I checked what was trending.

Despite Trump's latest #indictment being on almost every TV channel 24/7, it didn't even come up as a topic in ANY of the Trending lists-- not even under "News" or "Trending in the USA."

Then I manually checked hashtags like #Indictment, #Indicted, #TrumpIndictment, etc and got an ERROR message EVERY TIME. (So I know it wasn't just that the algorithm might have gotten messed up by my not having been back for a bit.)

Apparently, now #ElonMusk is burying news that he doesn't want people to see.

I'm not shocked by this, but I wanted to make sure there was someone documenting his crap.
